Awfully strange.. Just knocked the XBox off & got into bed. About 5 minutes later it just decided to boot up again (The light didn't come on) and it started making a load of noise..

Gone back into standby now. First time it's done that. Anyone else encounter this? Hopefully it's just an update of some sort, which I'm fine with.

sounds like an update, mine does that as well.

Did you play Doom 2016? Is that not also on Game Pass? You should play that one aswell.

2016 was removed from Game Pass early last year. Expect it to return in coming months due to the Bethesda buy out.

its happened to me a few times, I thought it was more gaming over christmas but then the wife also complained about it after a few spiritfarer sessions

Right, I was never in to Destiny games. Plus 30fps was killing any sort of enjoyment for me. So decided to give Destiny 2 a go on X as it got enhanced. Now its another example I can give of a game, that just so much more enjoyable when it gets 60fps and boost in visuals thanks to new generation. Gun play is actually fun and it looks pretty damn cool.

Last time I played Destiny 2, I quit after 30min. Now I fired up the next day and even got to other planet. I don't think I will stick with it for long, but it keeps me busy for now.

Gunplay has always been tight. The main issue with Destiny is solo play, it is exponentially better playing with friends.

Series X load times made the final boss fight in Quantum Break tolerable. Finally beat that stupid last level, **** you Aiden Gillen.

I have an unofficial one (this) and right enough I just tested with the new controller and it won't clip on

This is the one I got for my new controller and it works great: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08DJ2KYG9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Comes with attachment for new and old (XB1) controllers

Can you play your Xbox games on a phone?

A lot are on xcloud, yes

Bit of a problem there with my xbox series x. Only game have played was wolfenstein 2 on it with the disc, haven't been at it since before Xmas. So came back and put it in, said disc my have a scratch etc. So I cleaned it even tho no scratches or finger prints on it, still not working even tho tried to do it about 10 times maybe faulty disc. Put in far cry 5 and just out of its wrapper and it wouldn't load just kept showing wolfenstein 2 on the main page so tried halo wars 2 just out of wrapper as well same thing. Turned console off and put back on still showed wolfenstein 2 even tho that game wasn't in it. Had to restart console now its uploading halo wars 2. Anyone else have a similar problem? Seemed weird that whatever happened with wolfenstein 2 made it go that way on other games until I restarted console.

That glitch has been in the OS for a long time, used to have that issue with Battlefield 1 on my vcr One.

Always worked again after a reboot.

OK cool I will try it again after halo wars 2 updates, thanks. When you say reboot do you mean restart it or where did you go to reboot it? Thanks

Hold down the guide button on the controller , you get the option to switch off and restart the console.

Yeah cool was thinking was that way thanks.

Is it just me or is there no way to install your purchased games remotely anymore? There are 2 apps, Xbox (which is the game pass app) and Xbox Companion. I'm not seeing my library there at all, or am I being daft?

You can now install any game remotely from the companion app, whether you own it or not. Handy to preload a game you're buying on disc.

Anyone confirm or not if Lego Dimensions plays on series x. Specifically the 360 version

Hey madalig12, no the 360 version is not playable on the Series X.

The USB portals are different between the 360 and Xbox One version.

If you can get your hands on the Xbox One version with the portal, you will be able to use any of the sets you have.

Probably a stupid question but do Xbox one Digital downloaded games work on the S/X series?
My trusty XB1 scorpio packed up and Im thinking of picking up a series S.

Everything works seamless to be honest. You just click install and if there's an optimised version, you should get that. If not the XBO version works fine with improvements on load speeds & consistent frame rates. Depending on the game, you could see a drastic improvement such as 60fps.

As long as it's a digital version if it's an S.

The OP was asking about digital games.

What games are coming out in the future that will be must haves?

Have had the Series X since launch but playing the same games I had before that!

I'm hoping the next must have will be The Medium. It'll be a day one GamePass title. Other than that, it's going to be a while before we see anything major.

I turned on my Series X for the first time in a while last night, I spent the last month or two playing through a load of PS4 games after I swapped my One X for a PS4 Pro. What a pleasant experience it was not having to listen to the fan on the console going mental while you play.

Lots of 8/9 scores, but also lots of 3s and 4s! Seems divisive

Not the type of game I'd normally be into, the early resi game style camera in clips I've seen gives me the shivers, but will def give it a go on gamepass
